Crenshaw Gangster Brims (CGB) otherwise known as Crenshaw Avenue Brims (CAB) are an active African-American street gang located in Central Los Santos, San Andreas. Their neighborhood, Crenshaw Avenue, is located in Jefferson, right between Washington Street and Idlewood. The CGB is named after the street they reside on and openly represent it as part of their bravado. The Crenshaw Gangster Brims consist of several cliques, such as the 51st Street (51 CGB) and 57th Street (57 CGB). Cliques residing in the 50s streets are known as the Rollin' 50s or Rollin' 50s Brims/Bloods. CGB falls under the Brim umbrella alongside many other Brim sets within the Los Santos perimeter.

During the last ten years, the presence of a Brim set within Jefferson was next to minimal. Most Brims resided around Idlewood and other parts of South Central Los Santos. Jefferson was always a mixed neighborhood and saw many wars between African-American and Asian, as well as Hispanic gangs. Crenshaw Avenue was always a predominantly African-American area and saw many gangs come and go. In recent times, the Avenue was under control of several Drug-Trafficking-Organisations as well as the Crenshaw Hustler Crips and the Crenshaw Boulevard Bloods. Having survived such a rough and long patch of gang tradition, Crenshaw Avenue has calmed down over the last couple of months. The last set residing around the Avenue was taken down the by Gang and Narcotics Division of the LSPD and has, since then, never been seen again.

Leaving the Avenue with a power vacuum and cheap real estate prices, more and more adolescents moved into the neighborhood, turning the area into a crime infested place. Over the last couple of weeks, the CGB has shown to be the most present and dominant faction within this area. Dozens of gang tags have been sighted by locals and a general increase of crime statistics hint at the presence of a potential new street gang around Crenshaw.

OOC information:
The Crenshaw Avenue Brims / Crenshaw Gangster Brims is a fictional group loosely based on the Van Ness Gangster Brims of Los Angeles. Roleplaying as a street gang we are attempting to portray an African-American gang as realistic and authentic as possible. In order to display the best possible atmosphere around Crenshaw Avenue, we expect potential members to be as diverse as possible and start their own character development. It is also expected for potential members to gather enough background information and knowledge on the Brims in order to be accepted into the group.
